"Happiness is the only true measure of success. When we realize that something is impeding our journey of life a conscious choice can be made to change that which is keeping greater happiness at bay.

Whether it is personal growth you seek or better relationships with loved ones, neighbors, or coworkers - permit me to be your professional guide on the road to your success."

"You feel lonely. Never feeling quite good enough. No matter how much you do or what you’ve accomplished. There is this fear gnawing at you, that if you “don’t do enough” than you won’t be wanted or needed. That fear of rejection keeps you stuck, and makes expressing yourself difficult. You bottle it up, try not to think about it. Eventually, it becomes too hard to keep it all inside. You become enraged over a seemingly minor thing, or perhaps shut down. It’s hard to find the energy to do anything or even know what it is that you would want to do. You don’t want to just “get through life anymore""

"Being a Hawaii-born licensed psychologist, I understand the importance of balancing respect for culture and its practices with the demands of everyday life. At the same time, it can be difficult to find that balance. We navigate life the best we can on our own and there are times when we could benefit from support. The decision to seek out therapeutic support is not easy, and yet, it can be one of the most significant first steps toward that balance. I have over 11 years of experience working with individuals with a variety of experiences, stories, and struggles, and I support my clients from a non-judgmental and genuine standpoint."

"'Creating Choices; Finding Resilience' describes my underlying philosophy. I have been doing psychotherapy for 30+ years in Hawaii and other places. Couples counseling, parenting issues, loss, individual issues, such as depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, or past trauma, ADHD or other child centered issues--we embark on a journey together to find a better path and tap into the resilience within each of us. Our rapidly changing world makes it difficult to know what path to follow. Military families face especially daunting situations. I am flexible, compassionate and open to challenges, no matter what your journey may be."
